Yuvraj Singh had commented against SC targeting Yuzvendra Chahal in a live chat with Rohit Sharma last year
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was arrested in Haryana’s Hisar district on Sunday over his casteist remarks against leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Hansi Nagar police station has registered a case against Singh. However, he was immediately granted bail and released on the orders of the High Court.
In a live chat with Rohit Sharma last year, Singh was accused of making derogatory remarks against Scheduled Castes targeting Chahal. Dalit rights activist Rajat Kalsan had filed a case against him under various sections.
Singh along with his lawyers reached Hisar to join the investigation and after a few hours left for Chandigarh. He approached the High Court to quash the case, after which he restrained the police from taking action against the cricketer.
